Visible Light Communication

The field of visible light communication has diverse applications to the end user including streaming audio, video, high speed data browsing, voice over internet and online gaming. This comprehensive textbook discusses fundamental aspects, research activities and modulation techniques in the field of visible light communication. It discusses topics including line of sight (LOS) propagation model, non-line of sight (NLOS) propagation model, carrier less amplitude and phase modulation, multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO), non-linearities of optical sources, orthogonal frequency-division multiple access, nonorthogonal multiple access and single-carrier frequency-division multiple access in depth.

Primarily written for senior undergraduate and graduate students in the field of electronics and communication engineering for courses on optical wireless communication and visible light communication, this book:Provides an up-to-date literature in the field of visible light communication (VLC). Presents MATLAB Codes and simulations to help readers in understanding simulations. Discusses applications of VLC in enabling vehicle to vehicle (V2V) communication.

Covers topics including radio frequency (RF) based wireless communications and visible light communication (VLC). Presents modulation formats along with the derivations of probability of error expressions pertaining to different variants of optical OFDM.
